Chapter 27: The Murderer
Lei Xiong sat naked in the middle of the thunder pool, and the water vapor surrounded him like a white light veil.
Thunder rolled outside the stone room, and thunder after thunder echoed in the cold stone room.
Today is the day when thunder and lightning appear most frequently and intensively, and it is the best time to practice advanced thunder arts.
Lei Xiong had been waiting for this day, because after tonight, his superior thunder technique would be successfully completed.
From beginner, intermediate, to senior, it took him fifteen years.
Fifteen years is a long time, and today he finally got what he wanted.
Arlinn walks up to the Thunder Pool with a stone plate and hands the Stone Plate to Lei Xiong, saying, "Palace Master, this is the Thunder Pill."
Lei Xiong stretched out his hand to take Ju Lei Dan, nodded, and said, "Well, you can step down."
"Yes, Palace Master," Arlinn exits the stone chamber.
Lei Xiong put the Julei Dan in his hand, swallowed it, and closed his eyes.
He folded his hands and held them high above his head, waiting for the thunder guide stone above his head to lead down the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
In a moment, accompanied by a thunderclap, a thin light blue electric light snaked down from the lightning guide stone, falling on his hands, his whole body flashed with thin electric light, he slowly introduced the thunder and lightning into the Julei Dan in his body, but found that it could not be stored by the Ju Lei Dan in his body no matter what.
In a panic, he opened his eyes.
"Boom", "Boom"
The dull sound of thunder rang out again through the firmament.
Lei Lingxue couldn't help but cover her ears when she stood outside the stone room, because she felt that the thunder tonight was too deafening, stronger than the previous thunder, and she saw the sisters around her also covering their ears.
"Ahh
The sudden scream from the stone room made her heart beat violently.
Lei Lingxue panicked: "It's not good, it's my father!"
"Ah!, it's the palace master" The surrounding sisters all panicked.
Everyone struggled to push open the stone door.
Lei Lingxue walked into the stone room first, and the scene in front of her stunned her, only to see her father lying on the edge of the thunder pool, blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his body trembling slightly.
"Daddy!"
Lei Lingxue ran towards her father. When I came to my father, I saw that my father was short of breath and didn't even have the strength to speak, my father's eyes looked at her stunned, his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something.
Lei Lingxue hurriedly picked up her father's body.
"Daddy!", "Daddy!", "What's wrong with you, Daddy!", "Woo woo" "How can this be?, what's going on?"
At this time, Zhang Yunxian and Nian Xuan also came to the stone room, and the two of them were drenched in the rain, and they were even more surprised when they saw Lei Xiong's appearance.
Zhang Yunxian came to Lei Xiong and shouted, "Uncle Lei!"
"Palace Master!" "Palace Master!, woo woo woo" Nian Xuan also cried.
Zhang Yunxian said: "We are still late"
Lei Xiong opened his mouth slightly, and said a few words with difficulty: "Ju Lei Dan,,, Ju Lei Dan,,, was stolen and replaced."
''What!'' Lei Lingxue immediately looked at Arlinn, and the female disciples around her also looked at Arlinn.
Because Juleidan is usually refined by Lei Xiong and taken care of by Bai Ping, after Bai Ping's death, the responsibility of taking care of Juleidan fell to Arlinn.
Arlinn's hands shake when they see the crowd looking at her, and the stone plate in her hand falls to the ground with a snap and shatters.
Arlinn cries in fright: "Woo woo, big lady, it's not me, before I went to the Dan room, I never came into contact with Ju Lei Dan, I didn't know that Ju Lei Dan was stolen by someone, it's not me, it's really not me, woo woo"
Zhang Yunxian said in a deep voice: "It's not her who stole the exchange for Juleidan"
The eyes of the eleven female disciples of the Star Worship Palace all fell on Zhang Yunxian's body, and Lei Lingxue also looked at Zhang Yunxian, I don't know why he was so sure.
Zhang Yunxian slowly stood up, his gaze swept over the faces of the eleven female disciples of the Star Worship Palace in turn, and he said, "But that person is among you."
The female disciples of the Star Worship Palace looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts.
Zhang Yunxian said: "Of course the murderer will not admit it himself, but I know who the murderer is, everyone can understand it by looking at their waist."
The female disciples of the Star Worship Palace bowed their heads one after another and looked at their waists.
"What's wrong with your waist?"
"yes"
At this time, Yue Ling found that the star meter on Qiu Yan's waist was missing, and she knew that the star meter was something that people who worshiped the Star Palace Gate had to wear every day, she felt strange and asked, "Hey, Qiu Yan, where is your star meter?"
Qiu Yan's face suddenly became a little ugly, and she said, "Oh,,, I forgot to bring it"
Zhang Yunxian stared at her eyes and said, "Qiu Yan, you are the one who stole the exchange for Juleidan, right?"
Qiu Yan retorted: "No, why do you say it's me?"
Zhang Yunxian said: "You also killed Bai Ping, right?"
Qiu Yan had an unhappy expression on her face and said, "No, what evidence do you have to say that it's me?"
Zhang Yunxian took out the Star Dou Instrument he picked up last night from his arms, showed it in front of her eyes, and said, "If I guessed correctly, last night, you went to Lei Chi to look for this, right?"
Zhang Yunxian turned his head and asked Lei Lingxue: "Lingxue, do you remember the small opening in Bai Ping's palm?"
Lei Lingxue nodded.
Zhang Yunxian flipped the Star Dou Instrument over, pointed to the blood stains on it, and said to Qiu Yan: "This is the evidence, if I guess correctly, this Star Dou Instrument must have been torn off your waist by Bai Ping during the period when you killed Bai Ping, and you didn't notice it from beginning to end, right?"
Qiu Yan was speechless, just looked at her Star Douyi in Zhang Yunxian's hand in a daze, she didn't expect that her killing of Bai Ping would be discovered so quickly.
For a while, the female disciples of the surrounding Star Worship Palace avoided her for a long distance as if they were hiding from the plague, and they all looked at her with an incredulous eye.
After a while, Qiu Yan's face finally showed a cold smile, and she said: "I already knew that there would be such a day, that's right, Bai Ping was killed by me, and Ju Lei Dan was also changed by me, if you want to blame her, blame her for being too stupid, refusing to listen to me, she deserves to die."
The female disciples of the surrounding Star Worship Palace couldn't believe their ears, even Lei Lingxue was shocked, she didn't expect that her playmate from childhood to adulthood would be the murderer who killed Bai Ping.
Lei Lingxue asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Qiu Yan said: "The teacher's fate is difficult to disobey, and I have no choice"
Lei Lingxue asked, "Are you from the Blue Magpie Observatory?"
Qiu Yan nodded and said, "That's right, since you guessed it, there is nothing to hide, I might as well tell you everything, just the night before Bai Ping's death, I stole the key to her body and went to the Dan Room, but she found it on the way, I told her not to say it, otherwise I would kill her." Unfortunately, she didn't listen, so I had to knock her unconscious, take off the belt around my waist and strangle her, and blame her for being too stupid.''
Lei Lingxue asked: "So, my mother's Juleidan was also secretly changed by you back then?"
Qiu Yan smiled coldly and said: "Yes, I was only fourteen years old that year, I was really scared to think about it, I remember that night, I didn't sleep all night, I was afraid of being discovered by you, but for my future, it was worth it"
Lei Lingxue choked up and said, "Why are you doing this?, my mother treats you so well, why did you kill her?"
Qiu Yan said: "What are these things compared to immortality?, hahaha, it's a pity that you know too late"
As she spoke, a cloud of black qi condensed from the palm of her right hand, and she raised her hand and struck at Lei Lingxue.
This change came so suddenly that Lei Lingxue was defenseless.
Zhang Yunxian saw that the situation was not good, and shouted urgently: "Ling Xue, be careful!"
He flew up and stood in front of Lei Lingxue.
The black gas flew towards him, and with a "poof", it hit Zhang Yunxian's face door and instantly penetrated into his skin.
Zhang Yunxian only felt that the Venus in front of him flashed wildly, his head was dizzy, his body seemed to collapse, and in a moment, he lost his physical strength, fell to the ground, fainted, and was unconscious.
"Yun Xian!" Lei Lingxue exclaimed, and at the moment when Zhang Yunxian fell to the ground, she stretched out her right hand towards Qiu Yan at a lightning speed, and performed the collection technique of thunder magic, only to see several thin light blue electric lights flying out of Qiu Yan's body and falling on her right hand continuously. The thin light blue electric light quickly rushed into her body, and was frantically absorbed by the Juleidan in her body.
Qiu Yan just wanted to resist, but found that her hands didn't obey the call no matter what, and she felt that the thunder and lightning stored in her body were disappearing rapidly, and she could only watch the thunder and lightning in her body being taken away by Lei Lingxue.
The female disciples of the surrounding Star Worship Palace were all dumbfounded, because they all knew that this was the collection technique of the superior thunder technique, and they all marveled in their hearts.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that the eldest lady's thunder technique had reached the advanced stage," Nian Xuan said secretly in her heart.
In a moment, Lei Lingxue sucked up all the thunder and lightning stored in Qiu Yan's body, and she suddenly withdrew her hand, and several light blue electric lights in the air seemed to be broken. She stretched out her index finger with her right hand and pointed at Qiu Yan with her middle finger.
A larger, thicker light blue lightning shot out from the tip of her right index finger and middle finger, and landed on Qiu Yan's body. Qiu Yan's whole body was wrapped in a thin light blue electric light, and in a moment, there was a snap, and the clothes on her upper body were shattered by the electric light. Qiu Yan's body fell straight down, her eyes widened, and she died. Blood was still pouring from the corners of her mouth.
The female disciples of the Star Worship Palace present all looked at all this blankly, and there was silence in the stone room, so quiet that they seemed to be able to hear the sound of heartbeat.
Lei Lingxue retracted her gaze, looked at her father in her arms, and shouted, "Dad!, Dad!" and looked at Zhang Yunxian who was lying on the ground and shouted: "Yunxian!, Yunxian!"
I saw that Zhang Yunxian had no reaction, and his life and death were unknown.
At this time, Lei Xiong's lips moved, and a faint voice sounded: "Xue'er,,,,, Dad,,, I'm afraid I can't save ,,, Yunxian,,,, there is still a glimmer of life, he has been hit by the Taiyin Vitality, go, crane, Ming, Shan,,, find Zun Yi senior, he will save Yunxian, in the future, Dad is not by your side,,, take care of yourself,,,, Dad, very, love, you''
When the words fell, Lei Xiong slowly closed his eyes and said no more.
"Daddy!", "Daddy!"
"Palace Master", "Palace Master"
"Woo woo woo woo , woo woo woo"
"Woo woo woo
"Woo woo"
'Daddy, wake up, wake up, woo woo woo'
"Daddy!"
The female disciples around cried.
...............
............
After a while, everyone's sad mood eased a lot, Lei Lingxue was still crying sadly, Nian Xuan helped her up and said, "Miss, get up quickly" Let's go and bury Uncle Lei."
"No" Woo woo woo "Lei Lingxue hugged her father's body and refused to leave.
The female disciples of the Star Worship Palace helped her out of the stone room together.
Because they know that when people face the death of their parents, they will only become more and more sad and reluctant, and only if she can't see the faces of her deceased parents will she alleviate the pain in her heart, as the so-called long pain is better than short pain.
"Dad!" Lei Lingxue was forcibly left the stone room by everyone, but her gaze never took off her father's face.
............
night
Everyone buried Lei Xiong in the open space north of the South Palace of the Star Worship Palace. And at this time, the rain suddenly stopped, as if to bid farewell to Lei Xiong.
This night, there was no one more sad than Lei Lingxue, she cried all night, and the female disciples of the Star Worship Palace surrounded her to comfort her and accompany her.
